“Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it.”
You cannot outrun agriculture and crop failures, infrastructure failures, insurance costs accelerating to properly price the risk, wild fires, etc. US cattle herds are at record lows from climate related input costs. Romanian, Hungarian, and Bulgarian nuclear reactors no longer have enough water to operate. The Colorado River Basin will only continue to dry out. And so on.
Some will be impacted more than others, but everyone will feel some impact, and it potentially will only worsen over time. If you believe in climate change, do your best to mitigate the impact for the remainder of your lifetime. If you don't believe, oh well, good luck.

- lbriner 2mo ago"Yeah but they would say that, they are part of the system" Sadly, there is no way to counter a conspiracy theorist because if you question or counter then you are just part of the conspiracy too. Governments know that they need to do stuff but they also know that ignorant voters who read trash tabloid newspapers will vote them out next time because they might have to pay a little more for their electricity or cars.

- ColdStream 2mo agoThe US Military hit it right on the head. Climate change is a risk multiplier. It takes already potentially big issues and makes them so much worse.
- _djo_ 2mo agoIt used to. The deeply ideological current administration has decreed that it may no longer do so, and must instead pretend that climate change doesn't exist.

- Forgeties79 2mo agoSay what you want about the military, I think most of the adults in the room, however many are left, are simply treating the threat is real even if they won’t explicitly say it. Doesn’t mean there isn’t a chilling effect, but also, not everybody is the DEI hire Hegseth.
